On Thursday, Oberlin College was hit with $33 million in punitive damages thanks to Ohio jurors, who agreed the school participated in and encouraged protests defaming a local bakery as racist.

As The Daily Wire previously reported, Oberlin’s vice president and general counsel, Donica Thomas Varner, sent a community wide email blasting the jury for its findings, claiming the jurors ignored “clear evidence†that Oberlin was not at fault and insisting the school was being “held liable for the independent actions of their students.â€
